Abstract
Kinetic resolution of racemic secondary alcohols by oxidative esterification using carbene catalysis is described. Good to moderate selectivity has been achieved. N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) were systematically varied and several aldehydes were included in this study as acyl donors. As an oxidant, a readily available bisquinone-type system was used.
